Dear to whom it may concern,

The heavily militarized police department is continuing its assault on the citizens of Ferguson, MI. The media is not giving this situation the attention it deserves and we demand this changes immediately. There is a full on war being waged against citizens of the United States and yet the media outlets have continued to ignore their primary vocation; which is to provide unbiased and transparent investigative reports. Americans who are peacefully protesting are being threatened with violence, shot at with rubber bullets and unlawfully arrested. Reporters, who are exercising their constitutional right to provide freedom of press, are having their rights violated at this very moment. Please restore our faith in these historic institutions by providing non-stop coverage or updates with this current on-going situation.
